A Radiator Coolant Flush can cool things down!

We've likely all seen that unfortunate soul stuck on the side of the road with steam pouring from under the bonnet when the weather is hot.

But overheating cars aren't just caused by hot weather. The fact is that your engine gets hot, really hot, and it's the radiator and cooling system that helps keep your car, and you, from being affected by all that heat. Coolant is a task specific fluid added to the cooling system which helps prevent liquids from boiling over. It also assists in preventing fluids from freezing and has the added bonus that it protects the system from corrosion as well.

Over time rust and scale deposits can accumulate, leading to the whole system becoming essentially "choked" and less effective at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage the important parts of your cooling system, including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

If your dashboard shows your car is running hotter than normal, your vehicle is overheating or you are leaving puddles of coolant where ever you park it it is a pretty sure sign you might be due for a radiator flush. It is best to have your cooling system checked over by a professional, qualified mechanic such as Carrington Street Auto Repairs to ensure that everything is OK with your radiator, coolant and cooling system.

We will give your radiator and cooling system a well deserved service. Our qualified mechanics will perform a proper radiator flush, using a solution which is designed to remove any build up. When the cooling system has been cleaned out, the solution is emptied, fresh new coolant is added and your car's cooling system will be running like a dream: a radiator flush might be just what your car needs to bring it back to peak performance.

Your radiator will be more efficient, reliable and live longer. Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy. Boost the performance and power of your engine. Your water pump is further protected as it is better lubricated.

Do you notice puddles under your car ? Does your temp gauge read hotter than normal ? Is your car overheating? Then it is best to have your cooling system checked over by a professional mechanic like Carrington Street Auto Repairs

Your vehicle's differential bushings might be the culprit if they’re old, worn, or cracked. These essential components help control movement in the joints, absorb bumps on the road, and reduce vibrations and noise whether you’re driving forward or reversing. At Carrington Street Auto Repairs, your trusted local mechanic in Adelaide, we’re well-equipped to handle this and many other automotive issues.  

The Ford Territory and Falcon are undoubtedly two of the most popular vehicles seen on Australian roads. However, both models are known to experience significant wear in certain rear suspension components, particularly the rear differential bushing. This is most common in vehicles that have covered high mileage, possess high horsepower, or are regularly used for towing.

If you’ve noticed a clunking noise or felt a jolt when accelerating or shifting between drive and reverse, it may indicate that your differential bushing is no longer functioning as it should. The rear differential bushing is designed to ensure a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels, making it a vital part of your vehicle’s performance.  

Ignoring this issue can lead to additional wear and tear on other drivetrain and suspension components, potentially resulting in more costly repairs. Acting promptly when symptoms arise is both practical and cost-effective.

At Carrington Street Auto Repairs, your local Repco Authorised Service centre in Adelaide, our skilled team has extensive experience diagnosing and resolving this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a durable Nolathane alternative, which is specifically engineered to address these concerns and restore your vehicle to peak performance.

At Carrington Street Auto Repairs in Adelaide, we understand how crucial the transmission is to your vehicle’s performance.  

Your transmission enables your car to shift smoothly between gears, and transmission fluid plays a vital role in making this possible. Not only does it ensure seamless gear changes, but it also protects the internal components of your transmission. While transmission fluid doesn’t naturally decrease with use, it’s still important to check its level regularly. 

Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal particles and debris, which can reduce the lifespan of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly repair, so maintaining clean, adequate transmission fluid is a smart way to protect your vehicle and avoid unnecessary expenses in the long term. 

Additionally, it’s worth noting that transmissions can suffer from overheating if fluid levels are too low, as the fluid also helps regulate temperature within the system.

At Carrington Street Auto Repairs, we offer a comprehensive 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report with every full car service upon request. This includes inspecting your transmission fluid, and we’ll let you know if it needs replacing or if your vehicle could benefit from a transmission service.

Ensure smooth gear changes with Carrington Street Auto Repairs. We check and maintain transmission fluid as part of our services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Book a service today!
